PHP magic:   It struck me the other day that the method I used to hyperlink errchk.h in my code examples could be used to link names of system services and RTL routines to say, the documentation.

Tag cloud added:   Tagging posts seems all the rage at the moment. And the version of Movable Type I just upgraded to today supports an input field for new entries that allow arbitary tagging.
